Training

Since 2008, the NRPF Network has been providing essential training to local authority and voluntary sector practitioners working with people who have no recourse to public funds (NRPF) and are excluded from mainstream benefits and housing services.

At a time when local authorities are under significant pressure to reduce spending and cut services, it is vital that statutory safeguarding duties to prevent the most vulnerable people with NRPF from being destitute are exercised correctly.

We offer a range of courses which cover:

An introduction to immigration status types and NRPF for practitioners who are not directly responsible for NRPF cases but work with other migrant groups

What practitioners responsible for assessing and supporting adults or families with NRPF need to know

How immigration status affects support options and how this can be addressed in care planning for looked after migrant children and care leavers

How to best structure an NRPF service and manage cases cost-effectively

How to resolve complex cases, for experienced practitioners working in an NRPF service

Our courses are open to other agencies, such as those in the voluntary sector, to attend, in order to be able to properly advise and assist destitute people with NRPF who may be entitled to support from the local authority.
